I like this series a lot and I think it's ready to merge.

But I wonder, why have a separate qmp_query_cmds table?  Why not just 
fold the query commands into qmp_cmds?

Yes, that will be done shortly, but in a different series.

I'm not doing it in this series because it's necessary to change the
signature of all those functions which would make this series too large and
harder to review.

On a related note: I have more monitor patches in my queue. I'm building
and testing them right now. I'm planning to send a pull request of all
pending monitor patches later today. So, if you prefer, you can wait for
that pull request instead of merging this series alone.

[Bug 652293] Re: Linux for SPARC does not work

> It looks like the version of OpenBIOS in Debian sqeeze is buggy.

Thank you very much. I downloaded version from your link, and it works.

-- 
Linux for SPARC does not work
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/652293
You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu-
devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU.

Status in QEMU: New

Bug description:
I tried to use debian for sparc. I downloaded Debain Lenny 5.06 sparc netinst (file name:
debian-506-sparc-netinst.iso). I tried to boot it by command:
qemu-system-sparc -cdrom debian-506-sparc-netinst.iso -boot d
It printed some messages to screen. The last 2 was:
entry point is 0x4000
Jumping to entry point...
I tried to run it as sparc64 (debian.org sais that debian runs fine on sparc32, but i tried):
qemu-system-sparc64 -cdrom debian-506-sparc-netinst.iso -boot d
It loaded SILO. When i press enter or print kernel commandline, it starts booting, writes, that it loaded
kernel 2.6.26, initrd, and after it i get black screen. System does not boot.

I went to google and found that debian lenny can not run on sparc32 (it uses sparc64 kernel, but 32-bit
userspace). People recomended me to try debian 4. I downloaded file debian-40r8-sparc-netinst.iso.
But i got the same bug with qemu-system-sparc. With sparc64 i did not get black screen.It finished by string:
Remapping the kernel... done.

What is it?
